Let's imagine together that as part of your transition into spring, you have made
the decision to begin life coaching with a Circle of Life Coach. You have decided
to enter into the sacred world of self exploration, discovery and celebration. It
is unlike any class you have taken, any book you have read, any certificate, degree,
plan or purchase. You are choosing you, maybe for the very first time in your life.
How do you prepare?
First, Breathe. Yes, you heard correctly, breathe. The breath is the simplest way
to interrupt the primitive fight or flight response to stress. An easy breath has
the capacity to not only provide our cells with oxygen but to also ground our awareness
much like lightening rod grounds electricity.
Then, create and commit the time in each day to devote to your coaching homework,
self reflection and the development of your coaching plan; 5-10-15-60 minutes is
all you need to consider. It depends on your style of reflection, your time constraints,
and your life situation. You are in control of how much time you choose to devote
to life coaching. Before you begin actually working with your coach, practice setting
time aside for yourself. Let yourself get into the habit of holding a space for
yourself. For some of us it does take practice and may feel uncomfortable at first.
Be brave! Here are 4 other simple ways to begin to get ready for your exploration
of your authentic self with graciousness and deep consideration.
- Find a journal and a favorite pen, pencil, or crayon. It doesn't need to be fancy.
Or you might choose a leather bound journal in honor of your courage to begin coaching.
I use spiral notebooks bought at the grocery store. This is your chance to choose.
- Develop a close relationship with effective ways for you to release stress. Stress
release can also be simple. (Remember the breath. Natural breathing is the first
step in any stress release process.) You may meditate, walk, read, stretch, dance,
and sing....whatever helps YOU to relax. The change you will experience as you embark
on your coaching journey may naturally induce a bit of stress simply because it
is change. Nutrition, exercise, and water.
- Ensure you have the support of those close to you: companions, pets, bosses, employees.
Support yourself with those who love you. Let those close to you know that you are
in this process. And not everyone in you life needs to know. Honor your own sense
of privacy. Learn how to create.
- Carve out a space. Some call this de-cluttering. I call it creating spaciousness.
In a room, part of a room, one side of your desk, in the bathroom, choose a chair
in the living room - wherever it is declare it as your personal space for the time
you are in the coaching cocoon.
I have no doubt you will gain tremendous benefit from working with a Circle of Life
Coach or any other life coach you choose to collaborate with. I wish you well on
your journey around the Circle of Life. Remember to breathe and enjoy.
